Upcoming Events

The Austin Chapter of Credit Unions is excited to host for the 3rd year the Austin Chapter of Credit Unions TopGolf Classic benefiting Dell Children’s Medical Center.

Through the generous support of those within the community, Kids Classic has raised millions of dollars for Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas and the children and families it serves. Over the last 2 years, the TopGolf Classic raised over $47,000 and we hope to keep that momentum going as one hundred percent of the proceeds will go directly to Dell Children’s Medical Center to benefit children in the forty-six county Central Texas region.

On Thursday, October 18th, which is also International Credit Union Day, the TopGolf Classic will be held at TopGolf in the Domain from 5-8pm. Players will enjoy 2+ hours of golf play time, with a buffet dinner.

Please visit our TopGolf Classic page for more details https://www.austinchaptercu.org/topgolf-classic/ Sponsorship questions can be sent to rachel.fausett@gtfcu.org.

Join Young Professionals from Central Texas Credit Unions for a chance to chat, collaborate and expand your network.

This special event will have a Power Networking session where facilitator, Rachel Fausett, will lead small groups in 4 different networking activities and conversations. Rachel is a 10 year credit union veteran with a focus on community development and engagement as well as staff training in networking and outreach.

Each Meet-up's goal is to offer an opportunity to grow your skills and learn something new. And don't be surprised if credit union executives show up to share their knowledge!

Through the generous support of those within the community, Kids Classic has raised millions of dollars for Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas and the children and families it serves.

Caroline Willard, President and CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union League will be the guest speaker.

Willard previously served as executive vice president of markets and strategy for CO-OP Financial Services in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.

“Having spent the last 10 years at the nation's largest CUSO, it is an honor to be given the opportunity to serve credit unions at one of the largest leagues in the country,” Willard said in a league prepared statement. “This role will give me a chance to tap into what I have learned at both CO-OP Financial Services and at American First Credit Union, where I served on the executive team for five years.

Willard’s vision includes positioning Cornerstone as an influencer at the national level to create better efficiencies in serving a changing credit union marketplace, according to the Cornerstone league’s prepared statement. In addition to ensuring that Cornerstone delivers relevant services to members and building the league’s legislative and grassroots advocacy, Willard also plans to assure the value proposition for Cornerstone and CUNA is clearly differentiated,.
